BOOX Firmware V4.2 is here! Community-driven updates and a new thread for feedback.

We'd like to be able to disable pinch to zoom in the Boox Notes app. Otherwise it starts zooming randomly while we write notes. You removed the button that disables pinch to zoom. Why? Please bring the button back. I returned my Boox Note Max because of that. I do like the fast mode in v. 4.1 and af

It's Official! Tab XC 13.3 Color Kaleido 3 Just Dropped

I'm going to guess that within 3 months, there will be a 13.3 inch Note Max C that will be a better device than this glass screen, suboptimal non EMR surface pen Tab X C. That said, dammit about my willpower given I've been waiting 7 years for a Boox 13.3 inch color device.

Firmware 4.1.1 - why did Boox remove the "HD" refresh mode on the Tab X C?

I returned the Boox Note Max because of this and other bugs like no option to disable pinch to zoom in the notes app in 4.1.1. The new Speed mode is very good though, it is very fast and clear with almost no ghosting.

Duda

Empecé con Boox go10.3 y tiene lo que buscas. Boox note max también porque es el mismo OS con tamaño mayor. Pero no es sencillo, jaja. Tiene mucha funcionalidad y creo que puede distrae. Además, el software de boox tiene muchos bugs y por eso cambié a supernote. Me gustan las maneras de organizar mi

Returning Boox note air 5c

If you're just reading books, I would get a Kobo. You'll get the actual month long battery life that you expect from eink (I get a solid week of battery on my Go 7 B/W, definitely feel I got more on my Note Air 3 B/W which could almost do 2 weeks but I do tend to charge when I'm down to like 30% bat

E-ink android tablets - worth it?

I tried out a multitude of devices last year. Read all of Berserk and Invincible on some Boox tablets. What I found: the 7 inch models are the perfect weight and any larger is too energy intensive to hold. I bought a lenovo eink laptop at one point that was cool. I got a playdate at one point for it

Boox Note Max firmware 4.1.1 intermittent display "freeze"

Just bought a new Boox note max, and I have a similar issue when turning pages. Every so often (maybe every 5-10 minutes) when I try to turn the page, the screen becomes unresponsive. But it does recognize gestures, and if you keep scrolling then after several seconds (5 to 20) when it unfreezes it

Non-iPad Tablet Choices

You can look into other e ink readers like Boox and Supernote too. I would say boox are the best spec wise but buggy and risky, supernote best company and long support for devices. I tried them all plus a Samsung tablet but ended up returning them all, since screen size was a deal breaker for me. I
